The sun, the sea, the beach, the sand… summer weather is on its way, which means it’s time to start thinking about a beach theme home decorating. We can bring the summer beach to us by using some beautiful, coast elements in our homes. The picture frame covered with shells, sea star candles or coastal rope mirror, and rugged pieces of driftwood, they are all fantastic decorations to make our home in ocean atmosphere. Have fun! You can make them yourself.

Every girl wants her wedding to be unique. The sunflower wedding is a great idea for people who want to impress their guests and to make a great photo session that creates an enduring memory. Such a wedding will look fresh and sunny. Sunflower blooms can be seen throughout much of summer and fall, so choose the date during this season. Take a look at the most interesting ideas for a bright wedding.

1. The Bride’s Bouquet

It can be a simple sunflower bouquet, just 5-7 sunflowers. If you want something more interesting, you can add other flowers and decorations: lush greenery, peonies, small roses, feathers, ribbons etc. You can make a bouquet on your own, it’s simple.

2. Table Decorations

There is only one condition: sunflowers everywhere! No, it’s not too much. These flowers will create a cheerful atmosphere. Sunflowers are perfect for an outdoor wedding. Put them in little vases (or just bottles) and place on every table along with candles, you can choose yellow ones.

3. Wedding Arch

There is no need to wear a yellow dress or buy a sunflower print dress. It’ll be too much. You need to add just a little detail connected with these flowers. Small floral headbands will fit great and the bride will look tender.

Choose pretty yellow heels or grab a pair of Converse shoes. Be more creative! If you want something simple – put a sunflower on a dress and that’s all.

5. Groom Style

A small sunflower on his suit will look perfect. Another idea to improve his look is a yellow tie or bow-tie. Yellow shoes will be great too.

6. Presents for guests

You can make a great surprise for your guests after a wedding and thank them in this way. Just give every guest a packet of sunflower seeds and ask to plant their own summery blooms at home. They will remember your wedding for a long time. Such a present is a good memory.

7. A cake

Of course the cake should be with sunflowers for this kind of a wedding. If you prefer something more simple – you can order just a nice yellow cake.

Cupcakes are a good alternative for a wedding cake. This dessert is really popular now.

8. Invitations

You can put a little sunflower on every invitation.

Or choose a drawn variant

How about cookies invitations?

9. Decorations

Make a real flower wedding, put sunflowers everywhere they can look beautiful. Wood and hay will be great as decorations.

10. Photos

The last and maybe the most important reason to choose a sunflower wedding. You will be a couple with the most unbelievable photo session in a sunflower field. Take a look at these photos and no doubt, you’ll think seriously about this kind of wedding.

Everyone looks forward to summer. Kids wait tirelessly for summer vacation and adults plan their trips for the summer. It’s a universally fun time. Avid music fans look forward to summer because that’s when most of the festivals happen. It’s a very fun time for all. However, it’s important not to forget about your health in the midst of all that fun. So to make your summer as problem free as possible, I’ve created a list of essentials for your first aid kit this summer.

Water

It’s hot outside, and it’s very easy to get dehydrated, so please carry a bottle of water with you at all times. That way you’ll always be hydrated, and you’ll avoid spending money on overpriced cold drinks. If water is too plain for you, feel free to add a couple of slices of lemon and lime and a few mint leaves to it. This will make it more refreshing, and your bottle will look more summery and hipster-esque. It might make your handbag heavier, but it’ll be worth it. You can take out the heavy makeup bag to make it lighter. It’s useless either way, everything just melts off in the summer heat.

Sunscreen

This is crucial if you’re going to the beach. Yes, I know some you are desperate to get your tan on as quickly as possible but don’t forget to put loads of sunscreen on. You’ll still get your suntan, but your chances of getting skin cancer will decrease exponentially. You should put sunscreen on even if you’re not going to the beach. Make it a personal rule to put sunscreen all over yourself, especially your face, every time you go outside. It’ll protect your skin and make sure you don’t get a sunburn.

Sunburn Relief

If you do get a sunburn, please make sure you have a sunburn relief spray with you. It’ll help cool down the area that was sunburned and will alleviate the pain. It’ll also be helpful in preventing your skin from peeling, which is very unattractive and also kind of icky. If you don’t have the actual spray, at least get yourself some aloe vera cream or gel. Products that contain aloe vera are very hydrating, which is exactly what your body needs. Aloe vera also helps your skin cells regenerate faster; therefore it’ll help your sunburn heal faster.

Bug Repellent

In the summer, bugs are everywhere. Everywhere. From the moment, you go outside you’re at risk of getting bit by a mosquito or some other bug, especially if you’re going somewhere outside the city. Whether it’s a day at the beach, a stroll in the park, a picnic in the forest, or a hike up a mountain, wherever you go, there are bugs. Even if you don’t go outside, they will find you. Just opening a window in the evening will guarantee that your home will transform itself into the real-life set of “A Bug’s Life”. This is why bug repellant is critical. Bug repellent comes in many forms, and you’re free to choose whichever one you want. You can buy a bug-repelling spray or one of those bracelets that protect you from bugs. If you’re staying in, there are bug repellants that you plug into your sockets. The choice is up to you.

Band-aids

We tend to move around more in the summer, which means there are more chances and opportunities to hurt yourself. We also tend to wear fewer clothes, which leaves more of our body unprotected and, therefore, gives us more of a chance that if you fall or bump into something it’ll leave more than just a bruise. I know I’m bound to fall, scratch myself, bump into things and get weird unexplainable little cuts and scratches all over myself in the summer. If I’m going to travel somewhere, those chances double if not triple. It’s not just me, right? Summer means there’s bound to be tons of clumsy people. Band-aids are life-savers for me and I tend to go through them quite quickly so I urge my clumsy fellow explorers to always have a pack of band-aids in their first aid kit.

Medicine In Case Of Food Poisoning

It’s hot in the summer and we find ourselves being lazy and not planning our snacks ahead. A lot of people are in a rush to go to the beach and get their tan on, but once they’re there, they remember they forgot to plan lunch. If you do plan your meals ahead make sure to take a refrigerated bag with you, so that your food doesn’t get a chance to go bad in the sun. Food doesn’t last long in the sun and tends to go bad very quickly. If you’re gonna buy any type of food at the beach make sure to have some sort of medicine to help in case of food poisoning. Charcoal is usually very helpful in those situations, so maybe carry that around with you. You really can’t be too careful with this. It won’t cost you much to buy some over the counter medicine, but your stomach will thank you.
